Agree, and depressing as it is that we are minus Henry, Milne, Jamieson & Boult, I actually quite like the cricinfo probable XI with Shipley debuting (and Please please no Tickner!)

New Zealand: (probable): 1 Finn Allen, 2 Devon Conway, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Tom Latham (wk), 6 Glenn Phillips, 7 Michael Bracewell, 8 Ish Sodhi 9 Tim Southee, 10 Lockie Ferguson 11 Henry Shipley
If we play a 6-7-8-9 of Phillips, M Bracewell, Santner, Shipley there is no excuse for the top order to score too slowly. That is serious batting depth and power.

tbh I think that bowling lineup is pretty unrealistic. More likely: Macewell / Santner / Southee / Ferguson / Tickner or Sodhi. Looks like Macewell is ahead of Sodhi in the ODI pecking order, so Tickner will definitely play rather than Shipley. It also seems unlikely for them to go in with Southee, an off-pace Ferguson, and Mitchell-like-he'll-ever-bowl as the only pace options tbh.

Also, Tickner was picked in a squad which had Milne and Henry also ahead of him. He'll play in this situation, unless they take the initiative with Shipley. Which seems unlikely... :(

Doug Bracewell has been named as Matt Henry replacement for the ODIs in Pakistan and India, but he won't be available for Monday's game. New Zealand head coach Gary Stead confirmed that Bracewell would arrive in Karachi on Wednesday.

Why does that mean Tickner plays ahead of Shipley? Shipley was in the squad to begin with while Tickner was a replacement for Milne

Usama Mir debuting for Pakistan. 27yo (therefore 30yo) leggie. Two other leggies have debuted for Pakistan recently. Which one might he turn out like?

not into the hype for shipley....can someone tell me what he's about? saw a bowling clip on yt and seems 120km-ish lol, i guess he bats with no fks given like cdg? is that the excitement factor?

He's tall and swings it at decent pace (130 odd I think), and is a far better bat than his career stats suggest. Also been by far the best bowler in the super smash across the past 2 seasons and is having a fantastic One Day comp with the ball.

i also believe a big factor in him being picked is the age...26...yup thats right about when nzc sees you being useful lol

not much confidence (thankfully and justifiably so) in tickner lol...all that bowling for southee in the tests recently and still playing...sucks matt henry got injured, surely he would be playing in tims place...but knowing this setup henry would play in place of ship
